Yep, I was going to say I remember there being an announcement about this not that long ago. From this thread I thought I was starting to question whether I read the announcement correctly.

Lol, I’ve been playing WoW for 10 years, and you still take everything they say without questioning it?
Maybe you should take a look at this parody below — it might give you a different perspective.

Again, this is lose / lose situation.

People who have a house see no reason to log in = They unsub

This is not good, and demolition needs to be turned back on immediately. The only people against this are just a small loud defensive few who have houses that frankly, they don't even use, and don't need, since they're not even logging in anyway. I say this as someone with a Medium house that I go into daily. Repossess those abandoned houses, and let new people have them for a change! Tyty!

I'd argue that trying to strongarm people into paying virtual rent while quality and quantity of content are both in the gutter is unfair. Housing demolition should remain off until things improve IMO.

In that case, if you're unwilling to pay virtual rent because you don't otherwise enjoy the content, then you shouldn't have a house. It's that simple.
Why should you be allowed to reserve a very limited housing spot in a video game which you don't even play anymore?

As mentioned before there is a War going on in Europe and civilians is being targeted on purpose.

Auto demo is toxic as hell, and saying you want it back is just playing into the corporation's hands. They've got you mad at each other, instead of wondering why the megacorporation that tested cloud servers last year won't just give us instanced housing so everyone who pays a sub can own their own house like the game advertises.
Imagine how much more positive this game's community would be if people actually felt like they could just leave until better content came along, without losing important things tied to their account? For all of you who hate whiners and wonder why they don't just quit already? That's part of it. Those people would finally feel free to just leave, and you would never have to see them again. And for all the folks who want a house and can't get one? You'd have one under this system. The solution's obvious. Island sanctuary showed that the devs are able to at least get part of the way there, because with island sanctuary they gave every player in the game an instanced island with customizable furniture settings; basically an instanced mega-yard for every player. Cloud test servers showed that they can utilize servers that change dynamically, according to need. A lot of the pieces are there. But there's a "cost" issue to cloud storage implementation, so they won't do it. And they'll never have to worry about blowback from the community because you guys are out here busy being mad that people want to keep their shit when they quit for longer than 2 months. Bunch of tools tbh.

Because I paid for it.

I want to play the game. Unfortunately, the game isn't worth playing at the minute. Make the game worth playing again and I'll happily return and continue paying virtual rent for my in-game house.

then sell the house to someone else or just get it demolished so someone can have it. tho I do wish you could get the Gil back if it is auto demolished

It's good for you that you are on Raiden so you arent affected, but some people are on non new worlds.

Why? I want it.

If you aren't ok with me having a house despite not playing the game, why does it suddenly become ok as long as I keep my sub active and log in once every 45 days?

YUP, they were so close to just giving us that. And then development on the whole thing came to a standstill. Isn't that "weird"?
Oh, and auto demolition coming back even though the world's in a worse state than when it was first implemented. Isn't that bizarre? It's almost like they're just desperate to keep people subbed.

but honestly what sadden me is they have proven that instances housing would work and they aren't giving us that at all.
